March 23, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Top Biden Science Adviser… Defended Using Aborted Baby Parts In Research

By KATIE YODER WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNA) — Pro-life leaders are challenging Dr. Francis Collins, a top Biden science adviser, after a new report claimed he defended the use of aborted baby parts for research while serving as director of the National Institutes of Health.Collins, who identifies as a Christian and is a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, made his remarks during a private event at the University of Chicago in October, the Daily Wire reported, citing a leaked audio recording. He responded to a student, who asked him about National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for experiments, such as the University of Pittsburgh’s studies that involve the harvesting of aborted baby parts, at six to 42 weeks gestation,…Continue Reading

When The Son Of Man Returns…

March 22, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on When The Son Of Man Returns…

By M. ELIZABETH GILLSON The phone rang a few minutes after six last Saturday. We were in the middle of dinner preparations, but it was my sister who gets to the point quickly, so I answered.“I just got out of Mass, and the priest said in his homily, ‘Let’s all take a minute and pray to God for the people of Ukraine. Ask him, or her, to protect them. And if you don’t feel like prayer is really working, then just send them good vibes’.”“Oh dear. And this is the same parish where the priest compared the COVID vaccine to Baptism because it’s a promise of new life?”Christ’s line, “When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on…Continue Reading

Scam Nation

March 21, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Scam Nation

By BARBARA SIMPSON To measure by the headlines and the predictions of economists, this country is on the verge of a depression. Not just a mild recession as we have seen over the last ten years or so, but a real life, down-deep recession. If they are right, it is going to hurt and is going to affect all sectors of the economy. And it will be painful for everyone, no matter how much money they have.Prices are going up and that will continue for all kinds of consumer products, but the headlines now focus on the price of gasoline. It is raging out of control as anyone who drives a vehicle knows. No matter what the politicians tell us,…Continue Reading

The Invulnerability Of The Catholic Church

March 20, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Invulnerability Of The Catholic Church

By DONALD DeMARCO The Catholic Church is a paragon of balance. In this regard she has no peer. There is sin, but there is forgiveness. Punishment is tempered by mercy. Nature is elevated by grace. Sex is conjoined with responsibility. Rights are counterbalanced by duties; work is counterbalanced by prayer. Will is tethered to reason. Where there are difficulties, there is hope. Where there is doubt, there is faith. Where there is goodness, there is love. Problems are resolved; order is maintained.The secular world knows no such system of balance. In its zeal to correct a wrong, it has a tendency to find the wrong existing everywhere and allows no corrective to stand in the way of preventing its omnivorous…Continue Reading

Is There A Peace Deal Putin And Zelenskyy Can Accept?

March 19, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Is There A Peace Deal Putin And Zelenskyy Can Accept?

BY PATRICK J. BUCHANAN In an interview with Reuters, Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman for decades, made a startling offer. Moscow could end the Ukraine war immediately, said Peskov, if four conditions were met.Ukraine should cease all military action, recognize Crimea as part of Russia, accept the independence of the Luhansk and Donetsk separatist enclaves, and enact a constitutional commitment to “neutrality,” which would prevent Ukraine from ever joining NATO.Were this to be done, said Peskov, the war “will stop in a moment.”As this would restore the situation in Ukraine to the “status quo ante” that existed before Putin ordered the invasion, Peskov’s offer seemed not to be believable.Yet, according to The New York Times, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr…Continue Reading

A Slip Of The Tongue In The Supreme Court

March 18, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on A Slip Of The Tongue In The Supreme Court

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY When lawyer Sarah Weddington stood up in the Supreme Court on October 11, 1972, to present the pro-abortion argument in the case of Roe v. Wade, she was legalistically careful in the language she used to describe whom exactly an abortion aborted.She avoided normal human terms like “unborn child” or “baby” — and, most importantly, “person.”She preferred “fetus.”Presumably, this was because the Fourteenth Amendment states, “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”Justice Byron White, one of only two justices who would end up dissenting from the court’s opinion that there was a…Continue Reading

Equality, Identity, And Envy

March 17, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Equality, Identity, And Envy

By JOHN LYON Once I asked a son who had served U.S. purposes in the metamorphizing USSR just what Russians are like. He paused a moment, and then suggested that perhaps a story they tell about themselves might best briefly reply to my question.A peasant (or comrade?) is plowing his field when his plow hits what appears to be a rock and trips out. So the peasant goes to right the plow, and sees that the obstruction is not a rock but a huge stone jar. With some effort he unscrews the lid of the jar, and out springs a genie! The genie reports that he has been imprisoned in the jar for 600 years, and is so happy to…Continue Reading

St. Joseph And The Feast Of The Annunciation

March 16, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on St. Joseph And The Feast Of The Annunciation

By DONAL ANTHONY FOLEY March is traditionally the month dedicated to St. Joseph, and his major feast day, a solemnity, falls on the 19th — but the outstanding Solemnity during this month, the Feast of the Annunciation, falls six days later, on March 25.This feast day celebrates the extraordinary meeting between our Lady and the Angel Gabriel, as recounted in the first chapter of St. Luke’s Gospel. In a sense, “extraordinary” is too tame a word to describe this event since, quite literally, the fate of the entire human race rested on it. And this is why the Annunciation is one of the great feast days of the Church.And although the feast is primarily associated in the minds of most…Continue Reading

Despite The Downhill Glide . . . Ireland Offers A Glimmer Of Hope

March 15, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Despite The Downhill Glide . . . Ireland Offers A Glimmer Of Hope

By CONNIE MARSHNER The world is full of bad news right now, but there is a ray of hope in Ireland.It is widely known that in the space of thirty years Ireland went from being the most Catholic country in Europe to being the most anti-Catholic. How did that happen?In 1966 the voice of the Church on matters of morality was heard: The bishop of Dublin spoke out about indecency on television and the national TV station had to apologize. Twenty years later, in 1986, a referendum to legalize divorce failed by 25 percent. But the apostasy had already begun: In 1995, another referendum won by 50.28 percent, and the prohibition against divorce was taken out of Bunreacht na hÉireann,…Continue Reading

Russia Suffers Stunning UN Setback On Ukraine

March 14, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Russia Suffers Stunning UN Setback On Ukraine

By JOHN J. METLZER UNITED NATIONS — Russia has suffered a stunning political setback from the United Nations as Vladimir Putin pursues his ruthless attack against Ukraine. The diplomatic rebuff came amid Moscow’s widening military aggression on Ukraine which has created widespread civilian casualties and triggered a tragic refugee exodus from the East European country.In a rare Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly, one of eleven held since 1950, the organization’s full 193 membership weighed in on the Kremlin’s widening war against Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and demanded an immediate halt to Russian military operations and a withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.The March 2 vote tally on a tough resolution, “Aggression against Ukraine,” was 141 to 5 with…Continue Reading
